First we got to see Evangeline Lilly’s phone sex ads, now we have Michael Emerson’s acting performance in an 18-year-old training video made for rookie prison guards.
I’m freaking out. It’s as if we’re getting a glimpse at a flash-sideways showing us what could have become of Lilly and Emerson had they not been cast on ABC’s hit series “LOST.”
Man, watching that, I just kept waiting for Emerson to work his bug-eyed mojo and get the inmate to believe that he should stay in prison because Jacob said so. Of course, that would occur right after the prisoner punched Emerson 300 times in the face.
Emerson won an Emmy award this year for his portrayal of genius puppet-master Benjamin Linus on ABC’s “LOST,” currently on its sixth and final season.
Proving you can’t keep a good woman down (not even six feet under), “Dexter” starlet Julie Benz has joined the cast of ABC Studios’ long-running hit show “Desperate Housewives.” The 37-year-old cougar plays Robin Gallagher, a ditzy ex-stripper out to seduce Dana Delany’s Katherine Mayfair.
(UPDATE: Benz also stars this fall on ABC’s ‘No Ordinary Family.’ See the trailer here.)
Check it out:
If Benz doesn’t win an Emmy for this performance, I sincerely hope her wardrobe department is at least recognized.
In other Benz news, the actress is also set to star as the scientist wife of Michael Chiklis on ABC’s new super-hero drama “No Ordinary Family.” Her character will have the power of super-speed.
Super-speed? Now, that’s a power every wife could use … to make us a fucking sandwich! (High-fives imaginary sexist friends).
We are now only a month away from watching Christina Ricci’s nude-turn in Anchor Bay’s upcoming psychological thriller After.Life. According to those who caught an early screening of the film during last year’s AFI festival, Ricci spends the better half of the flick in the buff.
Anchor Bay Entertainment has released the film’s first official trailer, but don’t go getting your lube and cock-ring out just yet—the clip is nudity-free.
Take a look:
Directed by Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo, After.Life centers on a young woman (Ricci), the victim of an automobile accident, who awakens to find that she is being prepped for burial by a mysterious mortician (Liam Neeson) who insists that she is dead.
After.Life begins its limited theatrical run on April 9.
Daryl Hannah and her nude breasts headline Chilean director Raoul Ruiz’s psychological thriller A Closed Book, premiering in the U.K. this month.
Based on the novel by Gilbert Adair, the story revolves around a British author (Tom Conti) blinded in an automobile accident and the mysterious, possibly sinister, American assistant (Hannah) he hires to help him write his autobiography.
The film has garnered an insane amount of God-awful reviews, but it does have something going for it: two totally frivolous nude scenes from 49-year-old cougar Daryl Hannah. You can peep one of the scenes here, but heads up—the ass shot is most likely a body-double.
Hannah’s creds include The Tie That Binds, Attack of the 50Ft. Woman, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, High Spirits, Brian De Palma’s The Fury, and Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic Blade Runner. As of late, she has been starred in such direct-to-DVD fodder as Dark Honeymoon, The Cycle, and Shark Swarm.
